07:30. First full night in eight weeks. The run is on.

A different kind of strong

You never stopped being an athlete. You became a dad, too.

Some mornings, you get the whole hour. Take it. Some nights, nobody sleeps. Move the session. Sometimes your running partner is six and on a bicycle.

You’re not training instead of being a dad. You’re building fitness into the life you love: for the race, the floor games and the years ahead. And yes, school sports day counts as an A-race.

Both. Every day.

Dad. Athlete. Same person. Three scenes from a life that refuses to split neatly in two.
